hysterical: some idiot just robbed an old lady at a starbucks. cop was literally on top of the bad guy as he ran out the door. How dumb do you have to be to commit a highly visible crime where cops hang out? They're even in uniform, i'm not talking about plainclothes units. LOL.

eta: strong arm robbery is not at all hysterical. only the fact that the dude chose to do it at a starbucks.

Damn. Things are getting bad in Libya:

Report: Libya fighter jets attack protesters in Tripoli

Some pilots have defected to Malta rather than bomb their own civilians. The Libyan army is shooting soldiers who refuse to obey orders and burning the soldiers's bodies. Even the Libyan Navy is attacking residential areas.

Massacre From Above?

Want to get mellow? Sweet potato fries are like the Valium of snacks.

The writer of this has either never taken a valium, or never eaten a sweet potato.

From way back, but I miss my game so very much, Imma talk about it.

I'm 110% certain that Sean Pete's on-side kick call was carefully considered. The thing with football is that it takes crazy calls like that to win when the other team is statistically better.

This is what winning because of a crazy chance looks like. [link]

This is what outsmarting your opponent looks like. [link]

Holy shit, Libya.

Hey, does all of this turmoil relate to the Rapture at all????

It is only a month out. Hmmm.

I was listening to the show on NPR yesterday and thought it was relevant to us.

I am in tax-prep hell. My paperwork is so disorganized this year, plus I have the two states to file, and the self-income thing for 4 months and I don't even know what to do for the sale and purchase of homes. as of right now I owe federal and am getting a NY State refund. Almost a complete wash. I am pretty sure I have more medical expenses and charitable donations I can claim, though, just must find the paperwork.

Texas doesn't have income tax.

yeah I know, that makes it n% easier than when I moved NM to NY mid-year.
